Abstract:
|
Our thesis is that the civic pathologies of contemporary liberal democracy can be traced in part to a reconstitution of citizenship and gender in the early modern period. Both republican critiques of the the 'effeminacy' of commercial society, and feminist critiques of 'masculinity' today, converge on the effects of this conceptual transformation. We argue that both feminists and republicans can better contribute to the cultivation of civic excellence by attending the critiques of the other. |
